Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
Keep it clean and SFW
No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Opportunities are actually abundant. The problem, as I see it, is a lack of time, money, motivation, and energy, to seize almost all of them. Plus, not all such ideas and openings are on the level - some are just plain illegal. Also, I'm unwilling to completely upend my life just to run a business, take on huge risks at the peril of poverty, or risk prison to make a buck.

Edit: Also, ethics. There's a lot of unethical opportunities out there.
